strategic-culture | Neoconservatism started in 1953 with Henry “Scoop” Jackson, the Democratic Party US Senator from the state of Washington (1953-1983), who became known as a ‘defense’ hawk, and as “the Senator from Boeing,” because Boeing practically owned him. The UK’s Henry Jackson Society was founded in 2005 in order to carry forward Senator Jackson’s unwavering and passionate endorsement of growing the American empire so that the US-UK alliance will control the entire world (and US weapons-makers will dominate in every market).
Later,
during the 1990s, neoconservatism became taken over by the Mossad and
the lobbyists for Israel and came to be publicly identified as a
‘Jewish’ ideology, despite its having — and having long had — many
champions who were ‘anti-communist’ or ‘pro-democracy’ or simply even
anti-Russian, but who were neither Jewish nor even focused at all on the
Middle East. Republicans Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and John McCain;
and the Democrat, CIA Director James Woolsey — the latter of whom was one of the patrons of Britain’s Henry Jackson Society —
were especially prominent neoconservatives, who came to prominence even
before neocons became called “neoconservatives.” What all neocons have
always shared in common has been a visceral hatred of Russians. That
comes above anything else — and even above NATO (the main neocon
organization).
During
recent decades, neocons have been hating Iranians and more generally
Shiites — such as in Syria and in Lebanon, and now also in Yemen — and
not only hating Russians.
When
the Israel lobby during the 1990s and after, pumped massive resources
into getting the US Government to invade first Iraq and then Iran,
neoconservatism got its name, but the ideology itself did not change.
However, there are a few neoconservatives today who are too ignorant to
know, in any coherent way, what their own underlying beliefs are, or
why, and so who are anti-Russians (that’s basic for any neocon) who
either don’t know or else don’t particularly care that Iran and Shia
Muslims generally, are allied with Russia. Neoconservatives such as
this, are simply confused neocons, people whose underlying ideology is
self-contradictory, because they’ve not carefully thought things
through.
